Eliminate, but with some great climbing. Climb Eels on Wheels to the optional stance at 6 metres. From the right hand end of the ledge, climb a short black rib and swing right (Friend 1.5, peg). Powerful moves through the (greasy!) bulge past two pegs gain a rest on the face above. Place a few wires in the crack on the left (Hugo’s Here); then climb up to a thin hanging crack in a rib. Finger-traverse the crack up to the right (wires: hard to spot, hard to place); and then crank to a flake at the top of the rib (peg). Pull up and swing left to the belay of Eels on Wheels etc or carry on to the top in one go.
